1BEHOLD, THE Lord will make the land {and} the earth empty and make it waste and turn it upside down (twist the face of it) and scatter abroad its inhabitants.
2And it shall be--as [what happens] with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3The land {and} the earth shall be utterly laid waste and utterly pillaged; for the Lord has said this.
4The land {and} the earth mourn and wither, the world languishes and withers, the high ones of the people [and the heavens with the earth] languish.
5The land {and} the earth also are defiled by their inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, disregarded the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.
6Therefore a curse devours the land {and} the earth, and they who dwell in it suffer the punishment of their guilt. Therefore the inhabitants of the land {and} the earth are scorched {and} parched [under the curse of God's wrath], and few people are left.
7The new wine mourns, the vine languishes; all the merrymakers sigh.
8The mirth of the timbrels is stilled, the noise of those who rejoice ends, the joy of the lyre is stopped.
9No more will they drink wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
10The wasted city of emptiness {and} confusion is broken down; every house is shut up so that no one may enter.
11There is crying in the streets for wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is banished {and} gone into captivity.
12In the city is left desolation, and its gate is battered {and} destroyed.
13For so shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking {and} beating of an olive tree, or as the gleaning when the vintage is done [and only a small amount of the fruit remains].
14[But] these [who have escaped and remain] lift up their voices, they shout; for the majesty of the Lord they cry aloud from the [Mediterranean] Sea.
15Wherefore glorify the Lord in the east [whether in the region of daybreak's lights and fires, or in the west]; [glorify] the name of the Lord, the God of Israel in the isles {and} coasts of the [Mediterranean] Sea.
16From the uttermost parts of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the Righteous One [and to the people of Israel]! But I say, Emaciated I pine away, I pine away. Woe is me! The treacherous dealers deal treacherously! Yes, the treacherous dealers deal very treacherously.
17Terror and pit [of destruction] and snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18And he who flees at the noise of the terror will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the pit will be caught in the snare. For the windows of the heavens are opened [as in the deluge], and the foundations of the earth tremble {and} shake.
19The earth is utterly broken, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is shaken violently.
20The earth shall stagger like a drunken man and shall sway to and fro like a hammock; its transgression shall lie heavily upon it, and it shall fall and not rise again.
21And in that day the Lord will visit {and} punish the host of the high ones on high [the host of heaven in heaven, celestial beings] and the kings of the earth on the earth.
22And they will be gathered together as prisoners are gathered in a pit {or} dungeon; they will be shut up in prison, and after many days they will be visited, inspected, {and} punished {or} pardoned.
23Then the moon will be confounded and the sun ashamed, when [they compare their ineffectual fire to the light of] the Lord of hosts, Who will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders will show forth His glory.
